Alright, as far as my knowledge of computers go, my computer is a relic. Brand new keyboard and wireless mouse, but the actual computer is 6, 7 years old. The monitor is even older.

I have an insane amount of viruses. Not kidding you (Ultimate Fake Security Center anyone? And hackers are supposed to be smart) and none of my three virus scanners pick them up. I don't want to get a new computer (Tight budget), so what are my options?

Gaah.

But dun worry.
It will most likely stay like this FOREVAH.
Because I'm nowhere near as active as I used to be.

well It might help us to know which scanners you've used so far.
however if you can still access all of your files I would save them to a disc or External Hardrive and ust do a re-install of Windows. (you'd not only be purging your computer of viruses but also speeding it up a little bit)
Equipment:
Custom PC, MacBook Pro (MBPr), 3DSxl Blue, 3DS Midnight Purple, iPhone 4S Green

Huh, thanks a lot. I use Ad Aware SE Personal (Outdated by two years 0.0), SpyBot (Search and Destroy), and AVG Free Edition.
